Blog Post #10: End of Semester Recap!
Over the course of the semester, I have learned so many new things that will aid in my journey to becoming a teacher. All of these critical social issues have stuck with me in different ways, but the one that I feel is most applicable to my future career is social media and technology. The incorporation of both of these tools is something I value and will definitely take part in as a high school math teacher! Thank you all for a great semester, and enjoy your summers!
Hi Collen,
ReplyDeleteI did my vlog on the Home/School connection but I also tied in some technology components of it! I defiantly agree that technology and social media will be huge for our professional futures. I also liked how you mentioned just blocking certain websites and applications just doesn’t work. That there needs to be a better solution as social media isn’t going away and it is important to address the whole issue then just ignore it. I also really enjoyed how you mentioned all of the positive aspects of technology and how to use it ‘correctly’ and beneficially. The example of making a social media post like using TikTok to make a video was so interesting and I probably wouldn’t have thought to do that. I probably would’ve said use flip and that simple switch could’ve changed engagement drastically. You gave me some great ideas in this that I will take and think on further as I become an educator so Thank You! I hope all of your finals go well and you have a great summer!!
